Evropska komisija donela je odluku prema kojoj svetlosne i video instalacije Dena Flejvina i Bila Viole, priznatih američkih umetnika, ne spadaju u kategoriju umetničkih dela. Ova odluka će uticati na visinu poreza koji će galerije i aukcijske kuće plaćati prilikom uvoza ovih instalacija u zemlje Evropske unije.

Birokratska logika na delu.

Citat:In an astonishing move, the European Com­mis­sion (EC) has reversed a decision made in a UK tax tribunal, and refused to classify works by Dan Flavin and Bill Viola as “art”. This means that UK galleries and auction houses will have to pay full VAT (value added tax, which goes up to 20% next year) and customs dues on video and light works, when they are imported from outside the EU. The decision is binding on all member states.

The new classification goes against a victory won in a UK tribunal in 2008 (The Art Newspaper, February 2009, p47). A legal battle began after the Haunch of Venison gallery imported six disassembled video installations by Viola into the UK from the US in 2006, and sought to import a light sculpture by Flavin. Declared as “sculpture”, they would only have been liable for 5% VAT.
But customs rejected this, and charged Haunch of Venison £36,000 duty. In 2008 Haunch appealed, and won: the VAT and Duties Tribunal ruled that such works were indeed “art” and only liable to 5% VAT.
Now the EC has overturned this decision. In its ruling a Flavin work is described as having “the characteristics of lighting fittings…and is therefore to be classified…as wall lighting fittings”. As for Viola, the video-sound installation, says the document, cannot be classified as a sculpture “as it is not the installation that constitutes a ‘work of art’ but the result of the operations (the light effect) carried out by it”.

Mislim da su trebali da klasifikuju to kao patent
i onda bi bili zaštićeni od toga
s obzirom kakve sve stvari i prolaze kao patenti
